Ready or Not

Recently, my kids were reading one of their favorite books: a book about children preparing for Shabbos.

As they read, something puzzled me.

"Is it Shabbos yet?"

"No," Mommy answered. "We still need to..."

Wait a second.

Is it Shabbos yet? No, it isn't Shabbos yet, because the sun has not yet set. Shabbos isn't something that waits for us to be ready for it. Shabbos comes at a certain time, whether we are ready for it or not.

Perhaps the question should be: "Are we ready for Shabbos?"

Well, are we? 

No, we still need to prepare the food, the house and ourselves... Let's do it quickly, before Shabbos comes!

Moshiach is coming! Ready or not.

The question is: Are we ready?
